Category : Temple
Attraction Details :
According to legend, this temple came about as a promise made by two wartime survivors during the Ayutthaya period. When then-Ayutthaya fought against Burma, many refugees fled their homes and many of the elderly and women hid in the most sacred prayer room of this temple. Two sisters promised to renovate and rebuild the temple if they survived – and indeed, Ayutthaya's enemies were later vanquished, and the temple rebuilt.
The most important part of this ancient temple is a brick ordination hall with a curved base. It has a single entrance, and is named Bot Maha Ut. The ancient style terracotta tiled roof, whose beams were made of logs and twin sandstone boundary markers, add to the authentic feel of the site. In front of the temple next to the Tha Chin River is also a fish sanctuary, full of striped catfish. It is well known among visitors who usually come to visit and feed the fish.
Wat Nang Sao is located in Tambon Tha Mai. Take Highway No. 35 (Thon Buri-Pak Tho) to Highway No. 3091 for approximately 5 kilometers and turn left into Soi Wat Nang Sao 2 for 1 kilometer.
The temple is open from 6.00 am-5.00 pm daily.

Luxe Aveda Concept Salon evokes a sense of contemporary glamour by offering luxurious services amid its lofty ceiling and grey and fire-engine-red walls. A hairstyling visionary, Ray Hernandez presides over a team of hair-transforming artisans who administer cuts, color services, and specialized treatments. These stylists are so passionate about their craft that they educate clients about haircare, recommending Aveda products to maintain their new looks.
Aveda produces a full line of natural beauty products carried at nearly 7,000 salons and spas. Popular items such as Shampure shampoo and witch hazel hair spray deliver on Aveda's commitment to well-rounded earthly beauty with eco-friendly packaging that cradles ingredients derived from the world's finest and least selfish plants.
Though high-tech hair removal relies on relatively new technologies, owner Nedra Lockhart has been zapping follicles for more than 40 years—she began in 1970, working at the side of her mother, for whom the clinic is named. Though electrolysis is still on the menu, the entire staff boasts national board certification in laser hair removal through The Society for Clinical and Medical Hair Removal, Inc. This range of treatment options is essential, as specialists must select the right tool for the job: though considered less painful, lasers target melanin and may not be ideal for those with lighter-colored strands, who may be better served by electrolysis or Photoshop. Besides permanent hair removal, the clinic is home to Scandinavian skincare services by stateside transplant Catharina and mani-pedis by aesthetician Lisa Schuenemann.
A shared passion often brings talented people together. That's certainly the case at Planet Sol Salon, where each staffer brings her own background and artistic eye to the salon chair. Alexa Cline, for example, trained with Redken educators to gain expertise in haircuts and color treatments. Melissa Guerra specializes in chemical texturizing, and Natasha Gutierrez—who has interned with an American Board Certified Haircolorist—uses highlights to give hair the perfect amount of dimension. Not limiting themselves to just hair, the team members also administer aesthetic services such as chocolate foot masks and shellac mani-pedis.
The stylists are educators themselves, too. They know that a new look is ultimately pointless if it can't be regularly recreated at home, especially if clients find themselves stuck in a temporal loop. To that end, they recommend manageable styles and explain the step-by-step process for their creation.
Under the sage direction of Dr. Brian Young, the staff at Beauty Island Spa cultivates healthy complexions, eases aches, and whittles silhouettes with spa services for men and women. The spa?s island theme is reflected in its relaxation-inducing treatments and tropical atmosphere fostered by d?cor including peach-hued walls, plush white leather chairs, and palm trees inhabited by shipwrecked families. Aestheticians put their beautifying know-how to use as they administer innovative treatments such as LED therapy to help diminish the symptoms of rosacea, acne, or aging.
Under the watchful eye of licensed professionals, the students at Aveda Institute Corpus Christi simultaneously hone skills and pamper patrons. An aesthetician- or stylist-in-training performs each service as an expert instructor guides them through the process, tending to coifs, façades, hands, and feet with nourishing, aromatic products in order to get high marks on emery-board-shaped report cards. The institute not only focuses on bettering its students, but also on bettering the environment by providing a wind turbine and a fleet of direct-current exercise machines to generate the salon's power.
June Shin of June's Day Spa has more than 20 years of experience in the industry, working her way along the East Coast before settling down in Corpus Christi to open her namesake spa. Her list of services includes relaxing manicure and pedicures enhanced by indulgent extras such as foot masks, hand massages, and scrubs. June can prettify nails with one of many vibrant OPI and Essie polishes or apply a special crackling formula for more artistic tips. She also administers waxing treatments to remove clients' unwanted hair, leaving smooth skin for days longer than traditional shaving.

Steady Infrastructure Expansion Fuels Growth In The European Construction Composites Market, Finds Frost & Sullivan
LONDON, July 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Infrastructure development in Europe is steadily gathering pace following a period of weak demand during the economic downturn. As a result, the building and construction composites market in the region is gaining momentum. Technological advancements coupled with the superior performance attributes of composites will further boost uptake.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.chemicals.frost.com), Analysis of the European Building and Construction Composites Market, finds that the market earned revenues of 798.5 million euros in 2012 and estimates this to reach 1,186.1 million euros in 2019.
"Composites offer design flexibility, corrosion resistance, durability, easy installation, weatherproofing, and weight reduction. These benefits spur the market in Europe," said Frost & Sullivan Chemicals, Materials and Food Industry Analyst Sandeepan Mondal. "Recommendations by architects and engineers have also played a vital role in popularising composites, especially in emerging applications such as bridges, fibre-reinforced plastic panels, rebars, and door and window profiles."
Despite its advantages over traditional materials like metals, composites are seeing limited use in building and construction due to high raw material and fabrication costs. With the economic slowdown, tier-I manufacturers, contractors and engineering firms in Europe have become extremely cautious with their budgets, restraining investments in composite parts.
The building and construction industry's unfamiliarity with composites has further pushed adoption to the back burner. Difficulty in manufacturing, repairing and recycling composites adds to the challenge. In fact, the general perception is that full transition to composites is still 10 to 15 years away, and using composites along with metals is the way forward. Therefore, collaboration between composite suppliers and part manufacturers is a crucial step towards quickening technical advancements and improving consumer awareness. Existing competitors can acquire smaller composite manufacturers to strengthen their product portfolio and appeal to a broader customer base.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Scientists have known for years that seizures in patients with epilepsy cause progressive cell death in the brain. What they did not know was why this was happening.
That may change with a new line of research led by Professor Wilma Friedman of the Department of Biological Sciences at Rutgers University, Newark. The research is funded by a recently awarded, four-year, $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.
"Researchers have identified a likely culprit in this post-seizure damage, and its name is P75," says Friedman, professor of cellular neurobiology. P75 is a receptor for a specific type of chemical in the brain called a growth factor. Growth factors can regulate the normal functions of a cell, or they can tell a cell to self-destruct.
"When a growth factor called ProNGF binds to the P75 receptor on damaged nerve cells following a seizure, it causes them to die," Friedman says. Understanding this process can help researchers determine how to prevent cell death from happening.
This research has the potential not only to benefit people with epilepsy, but also those who suffer seizures as a consequence of traumatic brain injuries and strokes. In addition, it may shed some light on how to prevent cell death in degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
Friedman and her team of Rutgers researchers are working in an ongoing collaboration with Barbara Hempstead, MD, Ph.D., at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. They have also recently developed a working relationship with Helen Scharfman, Ph.D., Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research, who is associated with New York University's Langone Medical Center.
A key to learning how the ProNGF growth factor works with the P75 receptor is following it through the brain after a seizure. Similar in concept to how the migration of birds is monitored with tagging, scientists will biologically tag the proNGF growth fac

That contract is now set to expire, and administration officials are already discussing re-upping for another term starting in August. School officials say they hope the new contract will result in an even bigger payday for district coffers.
As was the case before, however, the idea of raising spending money from students' thirst isn't appealing to everyone. "My concern is about the commercialization of our kids based on bad nutrition," says Lucia Guzman, who represents northwest Denver on the Board of Education. "Even the so-called juices they sell aren't real juice. I know the schools make extra money and spend it on good things. But is that the way the schools should earn money?" Indeed, a review of the district's own figures suggests that many students who can least afford it are the ones supporting the deal.
The current arrangement has paid DPS about $6.5 million since 1998. Part of that money, $1.5 million, was paid up front -- a sort of soda-signing bonus. Over the past five years, it has been divvied up so that everyone got something. In each of the past five years, every high school has received $5,000 in cola cash. Middle schools got $1,000 apiece, and elementary schools got $500.
The big payoff, however, has come from on-site sales -- a guaranteed $4 million over the life of the contract. Before the Pepsi deal, many individual schools had soda machines, but the agreements were struck separately, so there was a wide variation in income. "Some schools were getting 10 cents a can, others were getting 50 cents," says Christine Smith, DPS's director of enterprise activities.
As part of the current deal, each school has the same arrangement: It keeps 57 cents out of every dollar spent on soda, water or juice sold on the premises. Thanks to a thirsty student body, each of Denver's main nine high schools has ended the year with an average of $50,000 in extra spending money. Middle schools have averaged about $30,000 each over the past five years.
That money has been spent on a wide variety of projects over the years, according to a recently completed in-house survey. Schools bought classroom materials, supported debate teams and academic camps, organized student- and teacher-recognition assemblies, paid registration fees, subsidized bus passes and purchased letter jackets for underprivileged students.
Smith says that when the original contract was hammered out, DPS tried to make it as palatable as possible. For example, the district tried to limit pushing cola to its youngest students. According to the deal, while high schools could install up to ten machines, middle schools were allowed fewer, and they were not to be available to students until after 3 p.m. Elementary schools were permitted only a single machine per building, and it had to be located in the teachers' lounge.
School officials also wanted to make sure that students who wanted a drink had a choice besides sugar-and-caffeine-packed soft drinks. And over the course of the contract, students' tastes have changed. Today, Smith says, bottled water is the fastest-growing product out of the vending machines. John F. Kennedy High School, for instance, has six machines that sell only water.
Still, district spokesman Mark Stevens acknowledges that selling Pepsi products to a young and captive audience is sure to be vigorously debated all over again, both by the public and the current Board of Education, the majority of whose members were not around in 1998.
The concerns raised then are the same as today's: subjecting students to commercialization during the one time of their day when they might be free from advertising pressure, and giving kids easy access to sugar water and caffeine in an age of swelling obesity rates and declining physical fitness. Critics say that while a wall sign encourages students to seek out a certain product, a vending machine makes actual purchases as simple as reaching into your pocket.
If anything, the debate this time around is likely to be even sharper. With the economy slumping, school districts are increasingly being forced to look beyond traditional income sources of state and local taxes. Ten years ago, after nearly two decades of failed bond measures and scuttled tax hikes, Colorado Springs District No. 11 entered uncharted educational territory by becoming the first public school district in the country to sell advertising space on hallway walls and the sides of buses.
Other districts scoffed -- until they saw the checks rolling in. Between 1995 and 2000, DPS collected more than $12 million in enterprise income from a range of sources, including the sale of advertising space on the district's Web site and money donated by various Colorado Rockies players for new athletic fields. The largest contract, however, remains the 1998 Pepsi deal.
Despite the boon, the economics of school-sponsored soda sales are worrisome. Hawking $1 soda pops to inner-city kids is a lot like the state lottery. Studies have shown that those who gamble on lotteries are often the people who can least afford it, making it one of the more regressive taxes devised, despite the fact that Colorado's proceeds are spent primarily on education and open-space programs. Denver's high schools may get to spend $50,000 they wouldn't have without the Pepsi pact. But the money still comes from a student body in which nearly one out of two kids receives a free or reduced-price lunch.

RE: Miriam Ames Powell in Lakewood Cem.
Hi Richard,
I usually take additional photos whenever I can see connections nearby. Doing a cemetery search, on Lakewood's website, her lot location is showing 2 other women buried in 1994... no common names or leads seem to be found here as well.
You might want to call the office and ask about their file for her, getting any further details? They are recording Merriam C Powell died 3/17/1905, we see her name differently on the stone, perhaps they'd like to compare this info? Lakewood doesn't seem to have a match for her husband E. S. Powell, maybe they can share more on him... did he arrange her burial?
Kind regards

My wife needed a case for the stereo microscope I got her for Christmas and I needed a project to use my first biscuit joiner. This instrument case with two levels of storage trays in the top compartment was the answer to both needs. The biscuit joiner is now my favorite power tool!
I'm just learning, so I used fencing cedar that I picked up in the cull lumber section and smoothed up with a thickness planner, my previous favorite tool. After the faces were planed to the same thickness and cut to the length of the box height, I stacked them up, clamped them together and ran them through the planer to smooth and square the edges. Then some joining to make panels and some stacking to make top and bottom lid caps.
The case was designed higher than the instrument to provide storage for the accessories. A rim around the inside of the box provided support for a short open topped box in a box. Finger holes in the ends to assist in removal. On top of that, another open top box half the length so the box below can hold some taller items. The larger box in a box also has an insert with holes to fit the extra eyepieces.
The base (fifth picture) uses some butcher block cedar that I had left over from experimenting with creating thicker material than the 1/2 thickness I ended up with after the rough cedar was smoothed up by the planner.
Still considering what to do for feet. Trying to keep to wood and wanting no slip as the microscope is intended to stay on the bottom lid while in use, I managed to make little cedar block feet with corks in the center but they didn't come out exactly the same height in the cork part so I might just do store bought rubber feet.
Between the thickness planer and the biscuit joiner, nothing can stop me now!
Researching the finish as we speak. I originally intended to do polyurethane (my default finish) on the outside only but am thinking of something easier to apply. Suggestions very welcome!

Very nicely done. Looks like you get along very well with your new tool. One thing I did before to make a none skid base was to make the feet then cut to fit some pieces of that adhesive backed rubber padding material and stuck it on the bottom. Don't know if that would work for you but, it's a thought. I too built a microscope box though it is much cruder and more resembles those used in schools in years gone by since that was the inspiration for it. |

Many Red Notice subjects simply want to move forward with their lives when their names are removed from INTERPOL's databases. That decision is understandable, given the vast amount of time, resources, and energy that are required to live through the events leading up to a Red Notice being issued and to actually challenge the Red Notice.
There are times, however, when a Red Notice removal requires some mention. Kevin Walls, a legitimate and established businessman, has succeeded in having his name removed from INTERPOL's Red Notice list. Mr. Walls' Red Notice received much publicity, and so should its removal. His story is here and here, at the box marked, "Press Release: Kevin Walls."
As always, thoughts and comments are welcomed.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] AUSTRIA/GV - Thousands set to protest Austrian far-right presidential candidate

Vienna - Up to 5,000 protesters were expected at a demonstration against
Austrian far-right presidential hopeful Barbara Rosenkranz in Vienna on
Thursday, organizers said.
Rosenkranz's nomination has sparked an outcry across the country, as media
and politicians of various parties have condemned the Freedom Party
politician for her criticism of the law that bans revisionist propaganda
and neo-Nazi activities.
Although Rosenkranz has retracted the comments and made clear she does not
doubt the existence of gas chambers in Hitler's concentration camps, she
remains a controversial figure ahead of the April 25 election.
The demonstration in front of the Hofburg presidential office was
organized largely with the help of a social network group on the internet
that has attracted over 88,000 members.
Support comes also from various leftist organizations and parties, former
centre-right Vice Chancellor Erhard Busek, and by Jewish and Muslim
'We don't want such a racist politician to enter the Hofburg,' said
Wolfgang Moitzi, the head of the Social Democrat's youth organization and
an organizer of the event.
According to the latest polls, current President Heinz Fischer of the
Social Democrats is expected to win a second term in this largely
ceremonial office, with 81 per cent of the votes.
Last week's poll by News magazine saw Rosenkranz at 19 per cent.
No other major parties fielded candidates, owing to Fischer's popularity
and the fact that a challenger has so far never defeated an incumbent in a
presidential election. dpa al ms

People are so harsh on Twitter. LOL.
Towanda Braxton Confirms Romance with Kordell Stewart?
By: Amanda Anderson-Niles
Porsha Williams and Kordell Stewart just officially divorced several weeks ago, but according to the latest gossip the former NFL player may have already moved on.
Kordell was reportedly spotted getting cozy with "Braxton Family Values" star Towanda Braxton recently at an event, and both even appeared on the red carpet together and took photographs.
As a result of what appeared to be both looking mighty close, it didn't take long for people to start assuming that Kordell and Towanda are dating.
Neither Towanda nor Kordell has said much of anything about the gossip, but Towanda's recent retweet has people thinking the rumors are true.
Check out the retweet below:
13 Comments
Kordell please…lol
This only makes those gay rumors more valid.
I sure hope they aren't dating. He just got divorced. He should work on his issues before he gets with someone else.
I agree. Kordell has a lot of issues!
Lol not buying it. Kordesha ain't thinking bout no female.
I'm shocked she retweeted that. LOL.
You would think he wouldn't want to deal with another reality star after Porsha. Interesting.
I don't want to be mean but that is one ugly looking woman. Sheesh! Kordell doesn't deserve anything better so I approve.
Yeah she overdid it with the surgery.
Surgery?! LOL…chile, that's just homegrown ugly, right there. #horseface
She looks like a Muppet in this picture. That one Janice that plays in the Muppet band. SMH.

Biomimetic 200 Review- Question for Troy
Hi Troy
In your review of the Biomimetic 200, you said "Troy "I felt like the 4D version had a little better plow through and torsional stability. I would add a leather grip (plus overgrip), and add some lead tape to the 3 and 9 o'clock positions of the hoop."" Q. How much lead tape would you add ? Thank you |
I am estimating that I would need roughly 4, 4" strips of 1/4" lead tape at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. My main goal would be to increase the swingweight up to 330-335 (strung), and I prefer to add the weight at 3 and 9 o'clock for increased torsional stability, as opposed to adding it at 12 o'clock. Troy, TW |
TQVM for your tip :-) |

The inspiring trainers at each MetaBody location lead troops of workouteers in results-oriented workouts several times weekly. Sweat sessions utilize a variety of exercises and disciplines to produce full-body results in a supportive environment, ideal for beginners and hard-core core-hardeners alike. During any class, motivational instructors will use the instinctual distrust of routine to their advantage. Begin a day of litigating with a refreshing early-morning boot-camp session, or wind down by burning evidence and pounds with a late-evening yoga class. Muscles are kept guessing with new and challenging moves during each session, so participants never fall into a boring, ineffective routine, such as regular teeth brushing. In addition to the fitness classes, students receive a success guide to help prepare for imminent pound loss, a nutrition guide, and a $100 gift certificate for individual coaching. Because the pass sets a 5 or 10-class cap at any given location, roving fitness mavens can further shake up their workout regimens by vetting a series of classes or instructors that work best for them.
Established in 1988, FIST Mixed Martial Arts offers a potent puree of several styles, including Krav Maga, kung fu, kickboxing, and Jiu-Jitsu, in its curriculum. Throughout the lessons, the school's instructors emphasize self-confidence, discipline, balance, and how a well-delivered high kick can get any malfunctioning jukebox working again. FIST's top priority is the safety of its students, meaning all engagements are closely monitored and students must wear the proper safety equipment. Each class is an hour long, with courses open to martial artists of all ages and abilities. There are classes specifically designed for children (ages 5–7), youth (ages 8–12), and adults (ages 12+), as well as general fitness classes. Check the schedule for upcoming course options.
Just 900 square feet. That was all the space the original American Top Team Aventura (ATT) had to work with when the team began training in Boca Raton. But despite the cramped quarters, the Mixed Martial Arts fighters excelled at their craft. Eventually, ATT upgraded a bit—the current location covers a massive 20,000 square feet, widely considered the largest Mixed Martial Arts facility in the state. And its Brazilian jujitsu, or BJJ, training program, available for both kids and adults, has gained such widespread acclaim that the academy's specific techniques now show up at academies across the country and the world. Beyond BJJ, American Top Team's seasoned instructors also teach muay thai kickboxing, boxing, cross-training, submission grappling, wrestling, and a kids program.
The experienced trainers at Streamline Vibrations Studio believe excellent fitness is within reach, and their studio is dedicated to helping clients get the best workout possible in the shortest amount of time. The gym features Power Plate training devices, which create whole-body workouts—the plate's base of instability and vibration causes all muscles in the body to work harder. The cutting-edge fitness center also offers group fitness classes on Power Plate and TRX machines, as well as personal training.
Founded by Chief Master William Clark, Karate America is a popular martial-arts school that believes martial arts can make people happier and healthier. With locations around Florida, Karate America is staffed by highly trained instructors teaching children and adults the self-defense moves of tae kwon do, krav maga, and kickboxing. While training in a team-like atmosphere in each of these classes, members learn self-discipline and respect, gain lean muscle, and burn calories.
ATT Miramar is South Florida's premiere martial arts & fitness center. World-class athletes instruct students from beginner to profession in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts, Muay Thai & much more. ATT Miramar has classes for the whole family, including our children's & Women only bootcamps.

Desirai - it's raining outside and my glasses are in the car, but I have to say, as squinty-eyed as I can see your photos, that is not a plumeria. Looks more like a schefflera. I probably shouldn't post this until I can see better. Later, if I feel stupid, oh well, it won't be the first time. :) |
..... Someone just enlightened me that yes this is not a plumeria.... I feel so dumb!! The person who gave it to me told me it was a plumeria.. so I've been babying this stupid plant for months to bring it back from death and it's not even a plumeria!!! :( |
I don't have Facebook but if it is a money tree- maybe you got confused with Pachira ;-). Hope it makes u feel better. Chuy |
Darn it when things aren't as we'd like! But, it's not a stupid plant. It needs love, too. I would consider cutting it back. Could turn out to be your favorite plant ever. Now, time to head on over to some of the plumeria seller websites and pick out one you'd like to have. I may just do the same! |

Bored of Minecraft's default look? Then these texture packs will give your game a completely new visual style. They've all been hand-crafted by the dedicated and talented Minecraft community, and they're super easy to install. You won't believe how good they make the game look.
Before you get started
Some of the texture packs listed here are HD. To run them you'll have to patch your copy of Minecraft. Don't worry, this won't break anything - just download MCPatcher from this thread on the brilliant Minecraft Forum, copy it into the game's directory on your HDD, make sure HD textures are checked, and hit the patch button at the bottom of the window. Easy!
To actually install your texture packs, load up the game and click the Texture Packs button on the main menu. At the bottom of this screen you'll see a Open Texture Pack Folder button. Click this and drag your downloaded texture packs in (in .zip format) and they should appear in the menu. Just be sure you've installed MCPatcher before trying any HD ones.
JohnSmith Texture Pack V8 by JohnSmith
This is one of the most popular texture packs in the Minecraft community, and for good reason. It adds a layer of subtle realism to the world, while still retaining the game's trademark 8-bit charm. The latest versions have added animated textures (flames, torches etc.), improved rain and snow and a handsome new user interface.
Download the JohnSmith Texture Pack V8 here
Glittercraft by Dreckroulade
This one is probably a bit of an acquired taste, but it makes Minecraft look totally unique with vivid, unrealistic colours. There are a lot of these 'artistic' texture packs out there, but this one is our favourite. Give it a try and you might be surprised by how cool it makes the world look; especially natural formations like mountains.
BladeCraft by MrShortee
Now this is impressive. Not only has MrShortee created a beautiful texture pack inspired by seminal cyberpunk sci-fi Blade Runner, but he's created a whole chunk of futuristic Los Angeles to show it off. If you're a fan of the film you'll recognise locations like Deckard's apartment and the Yukon building. Play this one in the rain, at night, for maximum atmosphere.
Precisely Portal by Carlotta4th
This pack is inspired by Valve's puzzle classic Portal. It only really works for building interiors - the rest of the world, like grass and so on, remains unchanged - but if you've ever wanted to recreate the Aperture Science Testing Facility in Minecraft, this is the best way to do it. Comes complete with turrets, doors, cubes and other accessories.
Download Precisely Portal here
Jolicraft by Andrejolicoeur
This is our personal favourite. It gives the game a complete overhaul - from textures and menus to tools and mobs - with a classy new art style, and a tastefully muted colour palette. It's reminiscent of a classic SNES-era RPG, like Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana, and gives Minecraft a fresh visual lift without changing its overall style too much.
RezFX by Soulscribe/FXStrato
Minecraft Forum user FXStrato took the Tron-inspired Rezcraft texture pack created by Soulscribe and updated it. Among other things he added a new ski for the Ghasts that makes them look like Recognizers and genius binary snow made up of 1s and 0s.

"I have been looking for affordable address labels, that fit my style at the same time. Well look no further, these are absolutely adorable, great quality, and got here super fast!!! Recommend these to anyone looking for address labels."
"Wanted Basil to match my announcements, these labels are slightly darker than the cards but close enough that I didn't need to send them back. Very nice, simple design. Delivery was super quick - thanks!"
"I got these labels as a promotion, I was not expecting much because of this, but I was pleasantly surprised. The design, photo and color quality were very nice."
"Easy to customize label. I used mine as a book plate. As described, the colors are vibrant. The "review/edit" process was quick. The delivery was also quick- just a few days. I even ordered more labels & had the new order even faster. This was an inexpensive way to get the exact book plate I needed. I will definitely order through Tiny Prints again and will recommend it to my friends. Glad I found this website."
"This label is great. It has just enough fancy and charm and it feels like my letter is coming from a far away pplace!! It is on thick paper so that it doesn't feel like it's going to tear when I pull it off the sheet. Great design, I am so happy with it."

i will be so upset if its still closed come the last week of oct!!!

I found this on Mouse Extra:
News on long-term closure of Spaceship Earth
April 27, 2007 at 2:31 pm · Filed under The View from Dave's Chair
TouringPlans.com is reporting this morning on the dates Spaceship Earth will be closing for what plans to be a massive refurbishment. According to the website, it will be closed from at least July 9 through October 31, maybe even longer.The end date is still fuzzy and unconfirmed. The park's calendar for November has not been released yet. The ride may be closed for a substantial portion of November as well.I would suspect Spaceship Earth will remain closed right up until the Thanksgiving Week, a very busy time at Walt Disney World. Considering it will be closed for the massively busy July, it only makes sense that if they can avoid a closure of a crowd eating attraction for another busy season they would.
Earlier reports seemed to suggest this popular attraction may go through a scattered schedule of frequent closures, rather than one long closure. But this is a long one for sure, and it includes the crowded July as well as the popular Food and Wine Festival. TouringPlans.com is also reporting much shorter additional closures of only a couple of days in May and June.

13 Speechless Scene Stealers We Love
Features By Christopher Campbell on July 6, 2013 | Comments (4)If you're going to see Despicable Me 2 this weekend, there's a good chance it's because either you or your children mostly want to see the Minions. Who cares about Gru and the human children let alone whatever the plot is this time around when those little yellow blobs are running around causing trouble? This is just a hurdle until the spin-off movie that's centered just on the Minions comes out next year. Why do we love them so much? Movies.com writer Perri Nemiroff gave a few likeminded reasons earlier this week, comparing them to pets and plush toys come to life. She also notes that their gibberish is always "immensely more entertaining than any line of human dialogue." The lack of intelligible dialogue is the reason I believe they're so popular, combined with their slapstick antics. They're Keystone henchmen, basically, characters that continue the tradition of silent comedy well into the era of sound cinema. In fact, they are cinema, almost purely visual treats (without their gibberish and occasional English word they would still be as funny). They're reportedly modeled after the Jawas from Star Wars and the Oompa Loompas from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, while Steve Carrell (the voice of Gru) believes the Minions "are as close to a modern day version of the Marx Brothers as I've seen." One of the Marx Brothers in particular, for me. Harpo was one of the earliest figures in film to maintain the tradition of the dumbshow pantomime once […]
Culture Warrior: Rise of the Planet of the Allegories
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 9, 2011 | Comments (8)Warning: this editorial contains spoilers for Rise of the Planet of the Apes (and, for that matter, the original Planet of the Apes). Consider yourself warned, you maniacs! The original Planet of the Apes lends itself quite readily to allegory. 1968, the year of the film's release, was the peak of one of the most tumultuous eras in American social history. Martin Luther King, Jr. was gunned down in April of that year, and Robert F. Kennedy's death followed a mere two months later. Student resistance and campus demonstrations grew increasingly violent in their opposition to the Vietnam War, the Chicago DNC broke into an all-out war, and racial discord mounted. Of course, none of this had happened yet when Planet of the Apes went into production, but the intersections of intent and circumstance that permit the film to be read so heavily, so variously, and so often in allegorical terms enrich the original film and its sequels with resonance that outlives whatever else may date it. Beyond entertainment value, the Planet of the Apes series has lingered in the popular imagination not because of any strong connection to a specific associative meaning, but because of the many possible allegorical readings it is capable of containing. One of several reasons that Rise of the Planet of the Apes succeeds where previous reincarnations of the series did not is its reclaimed capacity for allegory.
Seven 70s Sci-Fi Flicks That Might As Well Be Remade At This Point
Cinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on May 26, 2010 | Comments (10)Hollywood is already clamoring for more sci-fi to remake, and a lot of it seems to come from the 1970s and 1980s. What else should they go ahead and add to the list?

I think it's a great program. I have a former drill sergeant who is benefitting from them right now. I've made a couple of donations, usually around $40-$60 each.
i think it's a great program. I try to give whenever i can, though lately that has not been the case as I am broker than broke

Already contribute and participate. Our range hosts some of the folks from local hospital for a day of shooting and cheeseburgers. Have a local fishing lake that has a wheelchair accessable fishing dock.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
I give a little when I can. It is a great program.
Everybody needs a little Devastation!
I think its an awesome program i have seen them help so many soldiers It leaves a warm feeling in my heart
I won't tell you how much to donate but I will tell you that you should.
I don't need No stinking signature.
I donate what I can, when I can. One of the local cruise nights I attend splits the 50\50 drawing between wounded warriors, hospice, children's hospital, and the red cross. Each charity gets a different week each month. Last week, my wife won $87 on a 50\50, and we donated the full amount that she won. Not that we couldn't have used it, but they need it more.
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing? Si vis pacem para bellum. There are two ways of doing something. Right and again. If you can't be good, be great at it.
The small local gun shop I bought my GP100 from does a lot of fund raising for Wounded Warriors Project. The owner has a Pinto (car) and belongs to a club and they drive all over raising money for WWP.
I'm a member of WWP Alumni, and it is a great program, one of my psychologists pointed me in their direction. I donate when I can, but usually I buy WWP branded products/clothing more often and a cut of the proceeds goto them. It's nice stuff too, it's Under Armour for the most part.

CNN Celebrates Springsteen Rally For Obama, Ignores Larger Romney Rally
CNN's 1600 Report blog is currently featuring a photo of aging rocker Bruce Springsteen at a rally for Obama in Wisconsin today. The headline reads, "Springsteen energizes Obama's final sprint."
One might think it would be interesting, though, to compare and contrast the size of the crowd at Obama's Springsteen rally with Romney's rally from the same day. But, CNN avoids that comparison, perhaps for good reason.
The Springsteen rally was held in Wisconsin, of all states. Wisconsin is supposed to be a solid Obama win, yet here was the President and his personal rock star in the last hours of the campaign desperately touring the very state he is supposed to have a lock on. Worse for Obama, only about 18,000 turned up at the rally.
On the other hand, Mitt Romney was in Pennsylvania, a state he is supposed to have no chance to win. Even more amazing, Romney pulled in over 30,000 people to his rally.
Yeah, I suppose one can understand why CNN didn't want to make that comparison.

Stuart Hughes Gold iPad Supreme Edition: Flashy, but No Flash
The Stuart Hughes recipe for success: gadget + gold + diamonds = PROFIT. The latest manifestation of that formula is of course a golden iPad (the 64GB WiFi + 3G model), supposedly made by Stuart's wife Katherine.
The Apple logo on the back of this sinful monster is made of 22 carat solid gold, and has 25.5 carats worth of diamonds. The whole rear cover is also made from 22-carat gold, and it alone weighs a whopping 1.2 kilograms (2.6 lbs).
As usual, the golden iPad can be ordered from Stuart Hughes' website. Only ten units will be made, each priced at £129,995 (approx. $188,000 USD). I know of at least one playa who'd like to rock this on his neck.

Let PhraseExpress Portable type it out for you
Automatically enter repetitive words and phrases with this flexible tool.
People who have to type in the same words and phrases over and over again should check out PhraseExpress, a free tool that automatically enters any string of text you set it up to enter; as many as you like, as often as you like. It can automatically detect repetitive phrases and text strings and offer to automate them. Its algorithms can also help you complete your sentences. PhraseExpress USB Edition is a completely portable version of PhraseExpress. You can save it to a USB drive and run it on any compatible computer without having to install it.
We started PhraseExpress, which set up shop in the system tray. Clicking it called up a menu accessing the last used entry, the Clipboard Cache, and Settings as well as an entry called Create New Phrase. Clicking this opened a text balloon in German. We opened the Settings, which offered many options from a tree view listing Word Corrections, Last Used, and Clipboard Cache, each of which offered hotkey, autotext, and other settings. Still more settings are available by clicking Settings on the Tools menu, where we changed the User Interface Language from Autodetect to English, though that didn't cure the tool tip language issue. Nevertheless, we found PhraseExpress easy to use. Following the program's advice in the main window, we created folders to organize our phrases. Selecting a phrase in the tree view displays it in the main window, where we could edit it. The whole thing is simple: Click New Phrase and enter a description, which also appears in the content window since most of the time they're identical or nearly so. Next we entered our content, chose a hotkey combination, and clicked OK. We could have added a macro or configured the autotext, too, but we started with the basics, and those two features offer considerable flexibility. A clear, comprehensive manual explains all functions.
PhraseExpress USB Edition proved an effective tool for entering repetitive text, but it does more, such as automatically analyzing your typing speed and accuracy. Suppose you do evaluations and find yourself typing in the same half-dozen paragraphs over and over again. PhraseExpress can do it for you with a few keystrokes. Why wouldn't you use it?

By MICHAEL FALCONE (@michaelpfalcone) and AMY WALTER (@amyewalter)
COLUMBIA, S.C. — With just three full days of campaigning left before this weekend's crucial South Carolina primary, it looks like Newt Gingrich is getting under Mitt Romney's skin.
Here's a clue: The Romney campaign has scheduled a morning conference call with two of the former Massachusetts governor's most ardent backers to discuss "Speaker Gingrich's Record As An Unreliable Leader."
Former U.S. Sen. Jim Talent and former New York Congresswoman Susan Molinari will do the honors as the Newt bashing kicks into higher gear with time running out for Romney to cement his lead in the polls here and for Gingrich or another challenger to catch up with him.
For his part, Newt seized on the opportunity to tweak Romney yesterday after learning in an interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl that Romney pays roughly a 15 percent tax rate. In fact, the former House Speaker called on Romney to endorse his 15 percent flat tax plan.
"I'm thrilled at the idea that Mitt, I assume this afternoon will endorse my flat tax proposal and have every American pay it the way he paid," Gingrich said, adding: "I think we ought to rename our flat tax, we have a 15 percent flat tax, so this would be the 'Mitt Romney flat tax,' all Americans would pay the rate Mitt Romney paid, I think it's terrific," Gingrich said. http://abcn.ws/yGHByH
Gingrich and his campaign have been trying to leverage a strong debate performance on Monday night into votes, and they're getting some help from a pro-Gingrich super PAC, Winning Our Future, that released a new campaign ad overnight highlighting Gingrich's prowess on the debate stage.
Meanwhile, before flying to New York yesterday for a fundraiser, Romney faced a series of questions over how much he pays in taxes and when he plans to release his returns. He also looked out of touch when he told reporters in Florence, S.C. that "I get speakers fees from time to time, but not very much." (Turns out that Romney actually pocketed nearly $375,000 in speaking fees in 2010.)
Not helping matters were the words of one of Romney's most prominent backers, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who urged the candidate this morning to make his tax returns public.
"I've released all of my tax returns," Christie said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today, "and I released them every year after I filed them, right after I filed them to the public of New Jersey so they can see everything. And I think that's the right way to go and that's what I would tell Gov. Romney to do."
It's not exactly the message the Romney campaign wants in voters' minds heading into primary day, but the Gingrich clan couldn't be happier.
NEWT'S PALIN BOUNCE? Just one week after her husband Todd Palin "went rogue" and endorsed Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said tonight she would vote for Gingrich "if I were a South Carolinian" — the closest she has come to an endorsement in this race, reports ABC's Elicia Dover. Fox News' Sean Hannity asked Palin if she was any closer to an endorsement of a presidential candidate. "If I had to vote in South Carolina, in order to keep this thing going I'd vote for Newt and I would want this to continue," Palin said. "More debates, more vetting of candidates because we know the mistake made in our country four years ago was having a candidate that was not vetted, to the degree that he should have been so that we knew what his associations and his pals represented and what went into his thinking, the shaping of who our president today is." http://abcn.ws/w40OSL
ABC's Jon Karl reported for "Good Morning America" on the state of the GOP race in South Carolina. WATCH: http://abcn.ws/yS5uFL
ROMNEY SENT MILLION TO MORMON CHURCH. "Underscoring the prominent, if little discussed role that Mitt Romney played as a Mormon leader, the private equity giant once run by the GOP presidential frontrunner carved his church a slice of several of its most lucrative business deals, securities records show, providing it with millions of dollars worth of stock in some of Bain Capital's most well-known holdings," ABC's Matthew Mosk and Brian Ross report. "Romney has always been a major donor to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which requires that members 'tithe,' or give 10 percent of their income to the church. His family charity, called the Tyler Foundation, has given more than $4 million to the church in the past five years, including $1.8 million in 2008 and $600,000 in 2009. But because Romney, whose fortune has been estimated at $250 million, has never released his personal tax returns, the full extent of his giving has never been public. Newly uncovered stock contributions made during Romney's Bain days suggest there is another dimension to Romney's support for the church — one that could involve millions more than has been previously disclosed." http://abcn.ws/y2yRU5
NEW ROMNEY SUPER PAC AD ATTACKS SANTORUM (AGAIN). ABC's Emily Friedman reports: A new ad from the pro-Romney SuperPAC "Restore our Future" released this morning focuses again entirely on Sen. Rick Santorum, dubbing the former Pennsylvania senator "the ultimate Washington insider." Absent from this ad, however, is any reference to Santorum's support of felons voting rights', which became an issue during Monday night's debate when Santorum challenged Romney on the issue following a Restore our Future ad titled "Facts" that said that Santorum "voted to let convicted felons vote." "Governor Romney's super PAC has put an ad out there suggesting that I voted to allow felons to be able to vote from prison, because they said I'm allowing felons to vote, and they put a prisoner — a person in a prison jumpsuit," said Santorum during the Fox News/WSJ debate Monday night. " I would ask Governor Romney, do you believe people who have — who were felons, who served their time, who have extended — exhausted their parole and probation, should they be given the right to vote?"
SANTORUM PUSH BACK: "He's playing dirty, dishonest politics and he's standing behind this super PAC when, in fact, he's not standing behind it anymore. He' s now saying that what they are doing, the lie they are putting out there, is a lie that he is going to stand behind," Santorum said yesterday. http://abcn.ws/zAJuVi
SANTORUM UNLEASHES ANTI-ROMNEY ATTACK MAILERS. Rick Santorum is keeping his promise to sharpen the contrast with Mitt Romney in a new mailer arriving in the homes of South Carolina voters with just four days to go before Saturday's primary. The mailer greets residents with an unmistakable message: "Mitt Romney Is Hoping You Never Read This." It pits Santorum ("a trusted conservative) against Romney ("the moderate"), according to a copy of the piece of campaign literature obtained by ABC News. On the campaign trail this week, Santorum has been lashing out at Romney for refusing to take steps to rein in his super PAC allies who have been running negative ads against the former Pennsylvania senator. Santorum's mail-box offensive against Romney is just one example of the ground war among the campaigns that is playing out across the state and taking the form of mailers, fliers, and automated telephone calls. "You can't turn on the TV without seeing a vicious negative attack ad by Mitt Romney," the Santorum mailer reads. "Not only are the ads insulting and offensive, they're downright false. And clearly Romney was hoping you wouldn't have time to find out. Now you do." See the mailer: http://abcn.ws/zN30Ih
PERRY PRAYS WITH SOUTH CAROLINA VOTERS. Days before the South Carolina primary, Rick Perry led The Response, an offshoot of the August event he helped organize in Texas which drew a crowd of 30,000 plus people, in prayer and scripture reading, ABC's Arlette Saenz reports. The Texas governor's speech modeled many of the same themes as his August appearance, calling God a "personal God" who is unaffiliated with any political party. Earlier in the day, Perry criticized Rick Santorum's social conservative record, saying his vote for Sonia Sotomayor's appointment to an appellate court reveals questions about his true conservative background. The Texas governor also made it a point to stress that Santorum is a "good Catholic" — two times. According to a recent Gallup poll, 74 percent of the people of South Carolina identify themselves as protestant or non-Catholic, while only 10 percent are Catholic. Perry himself was raised a Methodist but now attends a non-denominational mega-church in Austin. http://abcn.ws/AwXtmn
ABOUT THOSE DEBATE NIGHT BOOS…. ABC's Jason Volack reports that Ron Paul pushed back against critics of his "Golden Rule" in foreign policy and questioned those who booed him at Monday's GOP presidential debate. Speaking in Spartanburg, S. C. Tuesday afternoon, Paul referenced America's threats of an oil embargo on Iran. "This is why I bring up the "the golden rule" if we don't want people to ban oil imports to our country, why should we do that to another country," said Paul adding "I don't know why that is such a negative term for people to boo that. " Paul also said that America needs to do away with the idea that it will only talk to nations it deems as perfect adding only until America is itself perfect can it make such judgments. The conservative Republican electorate in South Carolina booed Paul's answers on foreign policy and Texas Gov. Rick Perry even suggested that a gong should have been used to cut Paul off. Today, Paul takes a break from the campaign trail and returns to Washington to vote against the increase in the nation's debt ceiling. The fiscal conservative called Wednesday's vote a "gimmick" and said even if Congress votes it down it automatically goes into effect. "It's such a mess," said Paul. http://abcn.ws/AuyPaW
NOTED: Unlike like his GOP rivals, Paul doesn't feel the need to campaign nonstop. Paul took a break from the campaign trail right before the Iowa caucus on Jan 3 and after the Iowa caucuses he again took several days off to go home to Lake Jackson, Tex., to rest before campaigning in New Hampshire.
BIG PICTURE: HOW VULNERABLE IS OBAMA? Three new recent national polls should give Democrats some serious pause, ABC News Political Director Amy Walter notes. They show a very vulnerable president who is serious danger of losing re-election. ABC/Washington Post polling shows Obama's approval rating at 48 percent. Pollster Gary Langer writes: "In polling since 1940, just four previous presidents have started their re-election year with less than 50 percent approval. Only one of them won, Richard Nixon in 1972." Gallup's Lydia Saad writes: " Obama's job approval rating has averaged 44 percent in Gallup Daily tracking since the start of January. That is below the approval rating of seven out of eight previous incumbents at a comparable point in their presidencies." CNN/ORC poll asked voters who they saw as best able to "get the economy moving." Just 40 percent chose Obama, while 53 percent picked Romney. ABC/Washington Post and CNN/ORC polling show Obama in a dead heat with Romney. http://abcn.ws/ylWqPQ

Direct Market Access (DMA)
Challenges we address
The adoption of DMA —which enables a trading desk to route orders directly to an execution venue — is on the rise, from 12% of equity trades in the U.S. in 2000 to around 35% in 2006. Lowering trade costs and improving execution are the key factors for the buy-side adoption of DMA. Hedge funds, the largest customer segment for DMA, are particularly attracted by the anonymity it provides. For the sell-side, the reduction in trade support expense and the lowering of trade execution risks are key factors in increased adoption.
DMA, which was prevalent mostly just in the U.S., is now growing the world over. Traditionally, DMA has been offered for equity trading. However, now the scope includes other asset classes such as FI and derivatives. Regulatory requirements like MiFID will further increase the need for DMA. And sell-side enterprises are differentiating themselves by offering value-added services like algorithmic trading along with DMA.
What you can expect
- Business benefits to customers
HCL has built expertise in DMA through its engagement with the prime brokerage group of a leading investment bank, for which HCL has been supporting an equity trading DMA platform that oversees over 4 million transactions a day.
HCL's solution has provided several business benefits to this customer:- Meeting the clients' demanding service levels in the adoption of their new clients, ensuring speed of trade execution, and ensuring that the FIX connectivity is always up and running
- Freeing up a high-end resource pool for strategic work
- Immediate cost reduction to increase profitability from DMA business
- Specific DMA services
Backed by strong domain expertise in institutional trading and exchanges and settlements, HCL offers DMA-specific services such as:- Development of interfaces supporting messaging protocols like FIX with multiple applications
- Monitoring, analysis, and resolution of FIX connectivity issues to and from the order management system
- Leverage of HCL's cross-trade lifecycle experience to put together a highly flexible algorithmic trading platform that tackles next-generation trading issues
- Focus on vector engines for high-performance computing and distributed Java spaces-based grids for flexible streaming and distribution middleware
- "Grid"-based compute engine that allows easy modeling of finite difference, tree, and finite element-based constructs
- Marrying "grid-" or "vector"-based compute engines with streaming semantics, providing a combination of Apl-type high-performance computation and data retrieval while operating at low latency levels
- A next-generation data hub to view data management issues in high-frequency trading and strategy execution
Our rich experience in application development and maintenance, systems integration, and product implementation and application assurance services, backed by frameworks for algorithmic trading, has helped HCL build end-to-end offerings around DMA and in the up-and-coming execution management system space.

MAYWOOD, Ill. -- A little-known morphinelike drug is potentially more potent, longer lasting and less likely to cause constipation than standard morphine, a study led by a Loyola University Health System anesthesiologist has found.
The drug, morphine-6-0-sulfate, has a similar chemical structure to standard morphine. Dr. Joseph Holtman Jr. and colleagues reported that a study they performed in rats "demonstrated potential clinical advantages of morphine-6-0-sulfate compared to morphine."
Holtman is first author of the study, published in the December 2010 issue of the European Journal of Pharmacology.
